⚫ Rules:
❑ If the diode is in series with the applied voltage,
cutting line is zero.
❑ If the diode is in parallel with the applied
voltage, cutting line is the bias voltage.
❑ If the diode is pointing to the right or upward, all
waveforms above cutting line remains.
❑ If the diode is pointing to the left or downward,
all waveforms below cutting line remains.
τ = RC (Time constant)
⚫ Discharging Time
⚫ A capacitor will fully discharge in five time constants.
